The only material I see increasing in our new house construction would be Canadian lumber. Drywall, concrete block, asphalt shingles, windows, doors, wiring etc. are domestically produced.

All Gaul is divided into three parts.

Things we were taught by rote.

Other things we perceive and reason out for ourselves, like why is their a push back from realtors against Villages Sales Agents? Because MLS realtors aren't allowed to sell The Villages NEW homes.

According to a recent CNBC report, lumber is currently selling a record highs. During the last 12 months, it has added $7,000-9,000 to the cost of building a house.

Regarding the cost of resales, they will also rise. The attractiveness of the selling prices will depend on the awareness of the sellers.

steel studs, electrical components, anything made out of sheet metal or aluminum such as water heaters, builder supplied appliances, kitchen sinks, aluminum window framing, garage doors, soffits, gutters, light posts, wiring, cabinet hardware and hinges, and I'm sure there is more that I can't think of right now. This however will be short lived.

I believe in the science of evolution...not Julius Caesar or Catechism. :oops:

Which is analogous to the 'evolution' of rising building supplies...should a trade war break out.

People will be paying more for new homes, which will by association...drag up the prices on resales also.

I personally couldn't care less however, as being a 'frog' myself...it will be my children that have to deal with the sales price of my house.


Around 2050...with any luck. :D

And?

Paralysis by analysis. If you see a home you like and can afford, buy it. The rest will take care of itself.

We, too, have been watching a couple of homes in Fenny, including the price. Today, just noticed that they raised the price $30K on my fav :22yikes:, marked it out in RED, and now back to the original price they've had posted since going on the market. So, anyone who hasn't been following the price closely over time will think they are getting a bargain! Buyer beware!

In Fenney, you can't watch homes very long, because they don't last very long. I watch the market too, just because I find it interesting.

There are NO contingencies accepted on new homes here. No trade in's, and they don't accept anything but conventional mortgages on new homes. MLS realtors cannot sell them and that causes a lot of mis-information in my opinion.

I am not a realtor, never have been a realtor but we have seen many of our homes in our lifetime built for us. This place does it differently and we are completely satisfied with the two new homes we have bought and lived in here.

Increases in prices will effect demand.

Sorry Graciegirl, but I can't figure out how your statements apply to my observation that TV is attempting to represent that a home has been discounted by now including a higher price that they are saying was reduced to the current price that is has been listing at for awhile. VNH#2F011. The new information is in red, crossed out, but that was added within the last week. The price it is showing is the price that I have seen on the TV website for 4-6 weeks. You can actually save favorites making it easy to see which ones have sold and which ones are still available.

We've purchased two brand new homes (no contingencies, no $ reductions, conventional mortage only) and one custom built home, and I don't see those as being different in TV. The only unique aspect to TV is that only TV realtors are allowed to sell new TV properties. No big deal.

I found it;

Homefinder - The Villages(R) Homes and Villas for Sale

I can see why you like it. It's beautiful. I particularly like the fireplace on the lanai, the pool area and the view. You have great taste.

Not just the cost of materials but also the cost of hiring workers. Why should they want to earn less if they can earn more elsewhere?

Where are the trees though?
